Sell if holding. Momentum 3.3/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $92.78 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown. Specifics: Concentration risk — Customer: Tesco and Asda (33.0%); Concentration risk — Customer: Sysco and US Foods (42.0%). Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 42. Score 5.6/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 6/9 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, clean insider activity, news events none recent, earnings proximity 52d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and death cross (50MA < 200MA). Suitability: aggressive.
